Isaev (television series)

The film takes place in the 1920s . It tells about the first tasks of Isaev. First, he travels to the capital of bourgeois Estonia Revel (now Tallinn ) to stop the smuggling of valuables stolen from Gokhran . Upon returning , F.E. Dzerzhinsky sends him to Vladivostok to collect information about the actions of the whites. Then he has to go abroad to observe counter-revolutionary emigration.

The film is sustained in a rather neutral tone, there is no denigration of it, or vice versa, praising the White or Red Army.

After the success of the Liquidation series, Sergei Ursulyak was offered several scenarios for the new series. He, in turn, offered to remove the series on the novels of Julian Semenov.

Many members of the “Liquidation” film crew joined the project: screenwriter Alexey Poyarkov, cameraman Mikhail Suslov , actors Konstantin Lavronenko , Polina Agureeva , Mikhail Porechenkov and others (including Ursuliak's wife Lika Nifontova ). The director said that, perhaps, Vyacheslav Tikhonov will play the father of the main character (as a result, he played Yuri Solomin ) ^[1] . The series used the music of Mikael Tariverdiev from the film “Seventeen Moments of Spring” , but in a different musical interpretation.

The shooting period began on January 12, 2008 and was completed by October 2009 . Due to the complicated schedule of actors, Vladivostok scenes were shot in Sevastopol , Shanghai scenes - in Yalta . Some Moscow scenes were filmed in Yaroslavl and Kostroma . Filming took place in Tallinn and St. Petersburg . At the railway station in the Estonian city of Haapsalu , scenes were filmed, which according to the scenario took place at the Baltic station of Reval. And the interiors of the Russian Embassy in Estonia were removed in the Serednikovo estate near Moscow. The director completely removed the ideological orientation of the plot: “This is a film neither about the Soviet government, nor about the anti-Soviet power. We are filming the story of a young man who happened to be between two warring parties. He makes a decision about who he should be with, and at the same time he doubts the correctness of his position ” ^[2] . Therefore, the literary basis was severely distorted: for example, Isaev’s father in the novel is killed by the White Guards, in the series - the bandits.

Daniil Strakhov , who plays the title role, says so about the differences between his character and Stirlitz, played by Vyacheslav Tikhonov : “My Isaev is still a boy, a completely different person, if only because he is 20 years younger, respectively, less experience, corns, pain. But at the same time not without levity, love and passion ” ^[3] .
